A plurality of methods, apparatus and computer program for providing a warning to a station (STA) associated with an Access Point (AP) in a WLAN indicating that a disassociation the AP is imminent. The steps of one of the methods include (a) selecting a station (STA) for disassociation from a particular Access Point (AP) of a WLAN; (b) updating a reason code field of a message(i.e. a measurement request frame or a site report response message) to indicate to the selected STA that it has become a candidate for disassociation; and (c) transmitting the message to the selected STA. Upon receipt by the STA of a message indicating that the selected STA has become a candidate for disassociation, the selected station scans other Access Points from a list to find another Access Point to associate with before being cut off by the current Access Point,and being finally handed off from the current to another (selected) Access Point. |
